And all Floridians are happy today, even the squirrely, odious FSU Nolites.

Some are. Most are vomitting, now that the Gators have the same number of football championships that they do. Especially given that the Gators first one came at the expense of the Noels in a 52-20 Steve Superior choreographed blow-out.

One of my law school classmates did her undergraduate at The University of Florida [where her father was a chemistry professor]. She taught me "There's nothin' greater than a gator." [Make gator jaws with two extended arms; clap them together like that movie thingy; growl.]

As a "squirrely and odious" FSU grad who grew up (and still supports) a University of Miami fan, I am personally on the verge of tears over this! Well, maybe not THAT bad, and I do congratulate Jose, Conductor and the other Gators reading this.

That being said, any serious and self-respecting UM and FSU fan should NOT be happy over the big rival state school winning any championship. Remember the Gator Flop back in the early 1970s? A lot of old-time UM fans do.

From BS today: "Well, I made a phone call this morning, and unless my source mistook Ronaldo for Ronald Waterrus (who's also on his way to New York), get ready to see Il Phenomeno tear up his ACL on the rug at Giants Stadium next season."
